During our cruising we met up a few times with Jeanne of S/V Nereida. During our slow meandering in the Sea of Cortez she did a Transpac, and almost finished a circumnavigation, was ship wrecked and built a new boat, on and on....
A wonderful sailor and great friend.

Just got this email from her WOW. YOU GO GIRL!!!!

Preparations in full swing in Victoria
From:s/v nereida WEB info at svnereida-owner@yahoogroups.co.uk

Ahoy!

Just a quick note to let you know that I'm busy here in Victoria, B.C.,
preparing "Nereida" for the start on 20th October (winds permitting!) of
my nonstop attempt to girdle the globe ..... Cape Horn will be the first
of the 'Five Great Capes' I hope to pass south of, in the Southern
midsummer (early in the New Year).

I'm berthed at the Empress Dock C, with the lovely old buildings of
central Victoria in clear view.

Lots still to do but hopefully all will be ready in time.

Cheers,
